Pilgrimmage (Hajj)

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 26 :: Hadith 704

Narrated Nafi':

Ibn 'Umar intended to perform Hajj in the year when Al-Hajjaj
attacked Ibn Az-Zubair. Somebody said to Ibn 'Umar, "There is a
danger of an impending war between them." Ibn 'Umar said, "Verily,
in Allah's Apostle you have a good example. (And if it happened as
you say) then I would do the same as Allah's Apostle had done. I
make you witness that I have decided to perform 'Umra." Then he set
out and when he reached Al-Baida', he said, "The ceremonies of both
Hajj and 'Umra are similar. I make you witness that I have made
Hajj compulsory for me along with 'Umra." He drove (to Mecca) a
Hadi which he had bought from (a place called) Qudaid and did not
do more than that. He did not slaughter the Hadi or finish his
Ihram, or shave or cut short his hair till the day of slaughtering
the sacrifices (10th Dhul-Hijja). Then he slaughtered his Hadi and
shaved his head and considered the first Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa)
as sufficient for Hajj and 'Umra. Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle
did the same."
